AND
in whom obstructive coronary disease has been ruled out*
*Perfusion/FDG PET imaging may not be able to

hibernating myocardium. This should be
considered when ordering the test and interpreting
the findings.
Supporting documents must include of positive biopsy or clinical consult demonstrating pulmonary or systemic sarcoid.

abnormal ECG defined as complete left orright bundle branch block and/or presence ofunexplained pathological Q waves in 2 ormore leads
abnormal echo defined as RWMA and/or wallaneurysm and/or basal septum thinningand/or LVEF < 50%
abnormal Holter defined as sustained or non‐sustained VT
cardiac MRI suggestive of cardiac sarcoid
2. In young patients (age < 60 years) withunexplained, new onset, significant conductionsystem disease, to screen forCS as underlying etiology.Supporting documents must include ECG or consultletter.
Defined as sustained Mobitz II 2nd degree or3rd degree AV block
3. In patients with idiopathic sustainedventricular tachycardia (VT), to screen for CSas underlying etiology.Supporting documents must include ECG or consultletter/clinic notes, echo, other tests.
idiopathic VT is defined as VT not fulfillingany of following criteria
i. Typical outflow tract VTii. Fascicular VTiii. VT secondary to other structural heart
disease (coronary artery disease, anycardiomyopathy other than idiopathic).
4. In patients with proven CS to follow responseto treatment with steroids and/orimmunosuppressants.Supporting documents must includedocumentation of treatment to date, consultletter/clinic notes, echo, other tests.
Patients undergoing 3 or more FDG PET scansto assess response to therapy will have PETscan series reviewed by expert PET reviewerand Cardiac Sarcoid Specialist.
Diet preparation (high fat, low carbohydrate, low protein) is required for optimal image results using FDG PET. Click here for required prep.
As a condition of approval for cardiac FDG PET investigation of sarcoidosis, all patients require a clinical referral to a CS specialist, who is also involved with the MOH PET Cardiac Sarcoidosis Registry.

UOHI ‐ Ketogenic diet preparation for FDG PET Imaging of cardiac inflammation Mar 25, 2017
University of Ottawa Heart Institute Ketogenic diet (high fat, high protein, low carbohydrate)
preparation for FDG PET Imaging of cardiac inflammation
The Ketogenic diet is a high fat, high protein, and low carbohydrate diet that you need to follow for one day
before your scan. Following this diet will help improve the imaging pictures obtained from your scan. The
Ketogenic diet is safe to follow and is approved for use for one day as preparation for the scan.
Why do I need to change my diet the day before the scan?
The purpose of the scan is to find abnormal areas in your heart. The muscle cells of the heart absorb and use
glucose (sugar) for energy. The PET imaging scan uses Fluorodeoxglucose (FDG), a sugar based tracer. When we
inject FDG, normal healthy heart muscle cells will absorb FDG because it is a sugar. FDG PET imaging allows the
doctors to see areas of the heart that are normal or abnormal.
In certain conditions, such as sarcoidosis or other inflammatory conditions, we do not want the normal heart
muscle cells to absorb the FDG because it interferes with the imaging pictures. The ketogenic diet helps ensure
high quality images because the high fat content of the diet forces the body to choose fats for fuel and energy
rather than carbohydrates (sugars). Therefore, the normal cells are ‘tricked’ into using fat as energy and the FDG
is not absorbed. As a result, only the abnormal areas of the heart are seen.
To follow the ketogenic diet, you must choose high fat and protein foods and avoid carbohydrate foods for the
entire day before your scan. High fat and protein foods include meat, fatty fish such as salmon and tuna, eggs,
vegetable oil, margarine, and butter. Carbohydrate (sugar) is found in all grains, starchy vegetables, all fruit and
dairy products. We have provided a sample menu and food choices below to help you with your food choices.
If you have diabetes, please contact your diabetes doctor or nurse. Your diabetes medications and/or insulin will
need to be adjusted so you do not get low blood sugars while following this diet. This diet is only for one day and
your diabetes can be managed while you follow the diet.
In addition to following the ketogenic diet, you must also avoid strenuous exercise the day before your scan. You
must not eat or drink anything (except water) before the scan. It is important that you drink two to three ‐12
ounce (355 ml) glasses of water through the day to stay adequately hydrated.

ICUO – Régime cétogène en vue de l’examen d’imagerie par TEP au FDG pour détecter une inflammation cardiaque mars‐2017
Régime cétogène (forte teneur en gras et en protéines, faible teneur en glucides) de l’Institut de cardiologie de l’Université d’Ottawa en vue d’un examen d’imagerie par TEP pour détecter une inflammation cardiaque Le régime cétogène est un régime à forte teneur en gras et en protéines, et à faible teneur en glucides que vous devez suivre la journée précédant votre examen. En vous alimentant selon ce régime, vous contribuerez à améliorer les images tirées de votre examen. Le régime cétogène est sûr et approuvé pour une journée à titre de préparation à la TEP. Pourquoi dois‐je modifier mon alimentation la veille de mon examen? Cet examen vise à mettre en évidence les zones anormales de votre cœur. Les cellules musculaires du cœur absorbent le glucose (sucre) et l’utilisent comme source d’énergie. L’examen d’imagerie par TEP utilise le fluorodéoxyglucose (FDG), un traceur à base de sucre. Quand nous injectons le FDG, les cellules musculaires normales du cœur l’absorbent parce qu’il s’agit d’un sucre. L’imagerie par TEP au FDG permet aux médecins de voir les zones du cœur qui sont normales ou anormales. Dans certaines conditions, notamment en présence de sarcoïdose ou d’autres états inflammatoires, nous ne voulons pas que les cellules musculaires normales du cœur absorbent le FDG, car cela interférerait avec les images de l’examen. Le régime cétogène garantit l’obtention d’images de très haute qualité, car le régime à forte teneur en gras force le corps à choisir les graisses comme combustible et énergie à la place des glucides (sucres). Ainsi, les cellules normales sont « trompées » et poussées à utiliser le gras comme source d’énergie, de sorte que le FDG n’est pas absorbé. Par conséquent, seules les zones anormales du cœur sont visibles. Pour suivre le régime cétogène, vous devez privilégier des aliments à haute teneur en gras et en protéines, et éviter les glucides pendant toute la journée précédant votre examen d’imagerie. Les aliments riches en gras et en protéines incluent les viandes, les poissons gras (tels que le saumon et le thon), les œufs, l’huile végétale, la margarine, et le beurre. Les glucides (sucres) se trouvent dans tous les produits céréaliers, légumes farineux, fruits et produits laitiers. Vous trouverez ci‐dessous un exemple de menu et une liste d’aliments pour vous aider à choisir des aliments appropriés. Si vous êtes diabétiques, veuillez communiquer avec votre médecin ou votre infirmière en diabète. La posologie de votre insuline ou de vos médicaments contre le diabète devra être ajustée pour qu’en suivant ce régime votre taux de sucre dans le sang ne soit pas trop bas. Vous devez suivre ce régime pendant une journée seulement, et votre diabète peut être traité pendant cette période. En plus de suivre un régime cétogène, vous devez éviter de faire des exercices vigoureux la veille de votre examen d’imagerie. Vous devez aussi vous abstenir de manger ou de boire (sauf de l’eau) pendant les 12 heures avant l’examen. Il est important que vous buviez deux à trois verres d’eau de 12 onces (355 ml) pendant la journée pour rester bien hydraté.
